Lechia Gdansk

vs

Rakow Czestochowa

Tips, Stats and Odds

Lechia Gdansk have been a fast-paced, wide-on attack side all season long with John Carver’s preferred formation of either 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 enabling him to attack with numbers.

Carver’s side have averaged 2.27 goals for per game at home, conceding 1.40 goals per fixture in return.

Rakow’s 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3 formations have provided a strong structure for Lukasz Tomczyk to work with since he took over in December 2025, maintaining a compact, back three of central defenders with wing-backs providing width, and a well-drilled transition game that also allows for high-press intensity.

Lechia sit ninth in the Ekstraklasa 2025/2026 table with 38 points from 29 games while Rakow are sixth with 43 points from the same number of games. Rakow are unbeaten in five, winning two and drawing three, while Lechia are in mixed form with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five.

Rakow are a more balanced team under Tomczyk, with the coach’s tweaks making them more compact without sacrificing any of the intensity in their pressing game.

Tomczyk has a head-to-head advantage over Carver, having won all four of the last Ekstraklasa 2025/2026 meetings between these two clubs, including a 2-1 home win over Lechia five months ago.

Carver’s recent tweaks have made Lechia more defensively pragmatic but the club’s recent form still leans towards a more attacking flair that will surely bring goals on Saturday.

Backing Rakow, who have drawn each of their last two away matches, to edge Lechia in what could be a goal-filled fixture looks the best option for the main bet.
